Institute sets up partnership with alzheimer’s society to improve dementia understanding.
The CIOB is delighted to announce that it is supporting the Alzheimer’s Society’s ‘Dementia Friends’ initiative. The CIOB is working with the Alzheimer’s Society to support the construction sector in becoming more dementia-friendly.
Some 850,000 people in the UK are living with dementia, a number that is expected to rise to one million by 2021. However, 93% of homes lack basic accessibility features.
Through the partnership, CIOB members will gain access to resources that help them understand how dementia affects people’s lives, and what considerations can be put in place within the built environment to have a positive impact on those with such conditions.
